re: Willie quit on Tulane?

we need more schools that prioritize academics over athletics, the way college should be before the insane amounts of money corrupted college football. Gotta give them respect for the balance they have between Academics and athletics while still being able to have the occasional great seasons and remain competitive. Hate all you want but that is similar to what UL has done in Lafayette as a public university, improving academics and still competitive at a relatively high level in athletics. Not everyone has to be or should be modeling after LSU

... this is exactly right ...

but there is also a snag in the system that amplified the problem of sports/money getting out of control. That is the NIL...

Tulane does not want to get caught up in that whirlpool of constantly handing money out hand over fist to compete in sports

Willy Fritz is a great coach and did open the door to great achievement last year. I wish coach Fritz the best.

But the NIL is a beast and it shifts control away from the University

Tulane did not want to get caught up in that whirlpool ...
